Break your heart wide open. Passion isn't just about feeling good. It's about feeling everything that makes you human. Passion delights in the riotous display of textures, colors, emotions; good, bad, happy, and sad. It's sparked by the world around you. If you feel dull and gray, go outside. Feel the earth beneath your feet. Listen to the silence. It's always full of life. If you feel worn down by your daily routine, shake things up. Wake up at the break of dawn. Watch the sun rise. Cherish the precious, fleeting nature of life. Let your mind roam free. Daydream. Passion is ageless. It pierces through your layers of time-toughened armor and renews your spirit. This is your journey, no one else's. Be human. Let go. Be alive. "One Earth" by Mary Ann Burrows is a poetic journey through the depths of nature's wonders and the interconnectedness of all life.
